Mac never owned a home in Chippewa Falls.  He spent his career in the U.S. Army, traveling all over the world.  But Chippewa Falls was home to Mac in every sense of the word. He returned here to be with friends later in life, and in an effort to preserve his memory and share his life-loving spirit, Ann Lindsey-Gordon and Cathy Lindsey-Brown established this fund.

Grants support Chippewa County youth, music, veterans, history, and community festivals. Specifically, grants to Chippewa County Historical Society's annual "The Past Passed Here" event.

Creating a charitable fund through the Community Foundation is a meaningful way to make a lasting difference. When you establish an endowed fund, your gift becomes a permanent source of support for the community. The fund is carefully invested, and a portion of the earnings are used each year to provide grants that address important local needs. This approach ensures that your generosity has an impact not only today, but for generations to come. Your original gift, along with all future earnings, remains a lasting source of community capital dedicated to positive change.

The Community Foundation of Chippewa County was established to build permanent charitable resources that benefit the people, communities, and nonprofit organizations throughout the County. Donors who choose to endow their gifts help strengthen the community while creating a legacy that lasts forever. Grants are awarded in the name of the endowment fund, preserving the designated charitable intentions and honoring the donor's commitment to causes they care about most.

Community Foundations offer a simple, powerful, and highly personal way to give.  By providing flexible charitable tools designed to meet a wide range of philanthropic goals. You may contribute cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, or other assets, making it easy to support Chippewa County communities in ways that align with your financial and charitable objectives.
